There is as much as possible known when and where they will be looked for, and their plans are arranged accordingly.

4. The course which, in my opinion, should be followed has already been indicated in my letter of 21st May 1863, before referred to. One Gun Boat, or perhaps even two, should be kept perpetually cruising, either under sail or steam, in the immediate vicinity of Stoughong. The Pirates would then never know at what moment they might be surprised, and I have no doubt that, by such a measure, the neighbouring waters within a certain radius might eventually be rendered comparatively secure. Captain Nolloth concurs entirely in this view.
